From one fellow WNC'r to another thanks as always for your detailed responses.

Well my searching hasn't gotten me much of an answer so to help out a Corvair newbie I wanted to know the following about the LM Monza Dash. What did the center pod get used for? Was it a clock?

Submit it on your paperwork as it is supposed to be for the VIN features/options and let the reading/interpretation chips fall where they may.
If you get it wrong on the title it's tough to get it corrected through DMV. Ask me how I know....

Thanks,

The camshaft you refer to can be 1 of 2 GM cams. The first is the 891 cam which was used on all early 65 140's and later just 4 speed 140s and all 110 engines. The second is the 889 cam used on all 95 horse engines and the later 65 and up 140 Powerglide engines. If you are this far in and they are ...
